Moving the microscope
•
If possible, avoid moving the stereomicroscope.
•
Carry the stereomicroscope in both hands. One hand should hold the stereomicroscope column (21), and
the other should support it under the base (13).
•
Maintain the stereomicroscope in a vertical position.
Repair
If the stereomicroscope needs repairing, or revision by authorised personnel, we recommend that it be
stored in its polystyrene box and returned to the distributor. Attach a note with a description of the problem,
or details of the required revision.
